Why We Did It

Author: Tim Miller

It’s quite common to read polarizing views about Republicans and Democrats. But rarely do you find someone who has a change of heart. Tim Miller is one of those rare individuals who is able to reflect on what he did and why he did it, and then have the courage to write a book about it.

The act in question here is supporting the rise of Trumpism in the Republican Party. Tim gives us a ring-side view on how election campaigns are run and offers up thoughts on the motivations and rationalization of people who helped Trump win the elections and ultimately take over the Republican Party. Since he is well connected with many former colleagues, he is able to give us rare insight into the justifications and the political calculations that led to the disastrous consequences that culminated in the Jan 6th storming of the Capitol. 

I love the dark humor and unflinching honesty with which Tim gives us his unique perspective on the internal dynamics of the Republican Party.
